She received her DVM from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 2020 and then went on to complete a small animal rotating internship at IndyVet Emergency & Specialty Hospital. In pursuit of specialization in the American College of Zoological Medicine, she completed a Zoological Medicine Internship at Oklahoma State University. She joins the Foster Hospital for Small Animals for a second specialty internship in Zoological Companion Animal Medicine with the intent to apply for ACZM residency programs.
